POPULARISING THE UGANDA NATIONAL ANTHEM THROUGH THE MEDIA
Chapter Two, Article 8 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda lists the National Anthem as one of the National Symbols. It is an obligation for all Ugandan citizens to learn and know, how to sing, and appreciate the message in our National Anthem.
Our National Anthem carries very rich and patriotic messages that guide Ugandans towards performance of our duties, as citizens. As we celebrate 50 years of our independence, and look to the future, Government is enjoining the media to popularise the National Anthem as a noble social responsibility contribution by the media, towards National awareness.
This is, therefore, to request that airing all the three (3) Stanzas of our National Anthem be given prominence in your media house. This should be played at the beginning of every news bulletin.
For God and my Country.
